I have troubles understanding the meaning of "intentionally" here. When one chooses a free license for distribution somewhere, surely it's an intentional decision to see it reused in places like Wikimedia Commons. I wouldn't care about who physically clicks the button to upload the work to Commons rather than Internet Archive or Vimeo or PeerTube or YouTube. A more interesting question would be whether entities create materials *specifically designed* to be used on Wikimedia projects, say a concert organised specifically to produce a recording to be used on the corresponding (public domain) work's Wikipedia article and Wikibooks pages. There were a few such cases but they're usually organised together with Wikimedia chapters. > -- a lecture, a > concert, a reading, anything. I admit I am surprised at how vanishingly > little of *that* we seem to have on Commons. Concerts are nearly impossible to get copyright clearance for after the fact, readings are more often about modern works unless one is intentionally creating public domain/CC-0 material, lectures are used rarely on Wikimedia projects. We do have some things like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MIT_OCW_lectures https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:David_Harvey > > I guess I will encourage librarians to do this *without* offering existing > examples. :-/ That would be unfortunate. Fondazione BEIC has just published under cc-by-sa some video messages from Italian professors and famous showpeople on the importance of libraries. I can transfer them to Wikimedia Commons if that helps your case! https://archive.org/details/2020-09_beic_stelline I just uploaded this with my BEIC hat, is it cheating? ;-) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BEIC_-_Gli_Acta_Eruditorum_come_esempio_di_valorizzazione_di_una_collezione_digitale.webm Federico _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
